Kaleidescape reports three-year sales growth of 747%

For as ludicrous as we think the prices are on Kaleidescape's latest upscaling DVD players, the company is clearly doing something right. A recent release from the California-based outfit asserts that it achieved a three-year sales growth of 747% from 2004 to 2007 and ranks 415th on the 2008 Inc. 500 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. And we're not surprised. The company's kiosk was buzzing with prospective buyers at this year's CEDIA, and while only the affluent can afford to even sniff the wares this company is slinging, there's no denying the quality. Kudos, Kaleidescape -- but get some Blu-ray kit in the works, pronto!

What economic crisis?

Hopefully this will get the MPAA and manufacturers to wake up and see the market. Kaleidescape makes it easy to rip and stream movies all over the house, if it was this easy and cheap (like under $1k per streamer, and say under $3k for the server) we'd have a huge market. Heck, if someone would just make software available that provides this type of functionality and ease of use, it would be awesome. Microsoft did it to IBM, let's see if someone can do it to Kaleidescape.
